Dance Information

Traquair House, approximately 5 miles south of Peebles is claimed to be the oldest continually inhabited house in Scotland and is the home of Catherine Maxwell Stuart, 21st Lady of Traquair with her family in the house today (2017).

Built in the style of a fortified mansion, and not strictly a castle, it predates the Scottish Baronial style of architecture, and may have been one of the influences on this style.

Traquair House is built on the site of a hunting seat used by the Scottish kings from the 12th century, though no part of the present building can be dated with certainty before the 15th century.
